Chapter 329: Bomb Disposal Squad
“What is your name?”
“……Choi I-seo.”
On the phone screen, Choi I-seo answered while perched on the edge of the bed.
Her expression clearly showed she had no idea why she was doing this, but she was playing along for now.
“How did you end up in this line of work?”
“Just because.”
“You’re incredibly beautiful. I imagine you must have dated a lot of guys back in school.”
“I’ve been single my whole life.”
“…….”
“…….”
“Ahem. I heard you have a boyfriend?”
“That prick isn’t my boyfriend. He’s my mortal enemy.”
“Ah, is that so? But you’ve never dated, yet here you are to film an AV?”
“……Yes.”
“My, you’re quite the naughty one.”
Grip.
Choi I-seo clenched her fist as if she were about to pounce on me at any second.
However, I didn’t let go of the phone.
“Then, Ms. I-seo, what are your three sizes?”
“Why do you need to know?”
“…….”
“…….”
Once again, we fell into a silent staring contest, lips pressed thin. In that brief moment of eye contact, a thousand words were exchanged, but the 'interview' proceeded regardless.
“Fine. I’m going to see everything anyway, so why bother asking now?”
“Your lines are seriously…”
“Ahem. Ms. I-seo, where did you have your first time?”
“……I don’t know.”
“I see. Your male friend’s studio apartment? You don’t have a boyfriend, but you had a sex friend, then.”
“…….”
“Do you have a favorite position?”
“Ugh, I seriously can’t do this!”
Choi I-seo suddenly bolted upright and lunged at me. Her goal was to delete the interview footage we’d recorded so far, but I desperately leaned back, holding the phone high to resist.
“This is how it’s done! In adult videos, they always interview the actors like this!”
“Give it! Give it here! Why did I ever agree to this crazy suggestion of filming an AV?!”
“Fine! Then I’ll stop the interview and we’ll just start filming!”
“I hate that even more!”
I wanted to ask for help, but Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin were already preoccupied with my laptop.
They were currently engrossed in reading the AV entry on the Wiki.
“There are so many different kinds. There are a ton of concepts I never even imagined.”
“Ah-rin, you need to know these things. It all becomes useful experience, you know?”
“Where on earth would I ever use this?”
After a brief scuffle with Choi I-seo, I managed to protect my phone for the time being.
However, I couldn’t let my guard down under her gaze, which radiated a grim determination to snatch the phone by any means necessary.
“Choi I-seo is resisting too much. Ah-rin, do you want to go first?”
“No, I’m not doing it.”
“…….”
“What are you glaring at?”
“Weren’t you going to do it for me?”
“I never said that.”
Then why did Choi I-seo do it?
Even Choi I-seo looked dumbfounded. She had assumed everyone was doing it and just wanted to get it over with quickly, but in reality, no one else had any intention of participating.
“Then I’ll do it!”
Ah, never mind.
There was one left.
Seo Ye-rin hopped up and scurried over to the bed where Choi I-seo had been sitting.
“Because once filming gets busy, Woo-jini is going to miss me!”
She wasn’t wrong.
I immediately started recording.
Choi I-seo and Yoo Ah-rin sat side-by-side, watching us with expressions that clearly said, 'What the hell are these two idiots doing?'
“What is your name?”
“D-do I… do I really have to say?”
What?
Who is this?
Seo Ye-rin covered her mouth shyly. The way she avoided eye contact made her look like a woman who truly had no experience with this sort of thing.
Choi I-seo and Yoo Ah-rin whispered to each other, wondering what was wrong with her.
“If you don’t want to say, that’s fine. Then, what brought you to appear in this video?”
“It’s… for my boyfriend…….”
Her voice trembled as she mentioned her boyfriend, a slight sniffle mixed in.
“What are your three sizes?”
“……No comment.”
“Favorite position?”
“T-that too.”
“Hmm, this is going to be difficult if you’re like this.”
I strode forward and grabbed Seo Ye-rin’s breast firmly. She let out a moan that sounded like a gasp.
Though her expression seemed to say she disliked it, she pushed her chest forward and didn’t resist.
“Then I’ll have to find out for myself. Your sizes, and your favorite position.”
“Ah…….”
“Now then—!”
“Fuck! Stop it, you psycho!”
A kick flew into my back just as I was about to push Seo Ye-rin down onto the bed.
I tumbled forward face-first.
Yoo Ah-rin and Choi I-seo pounced on me simultaneously and started stomping.
“What was that just now?! Fuck, I actually got goosebumps!”
“Why on earth are you filming with such a high-difficulty concept? And why! Why are you getting so into the mood?!”
“Agh! Aaagh! No, Seo Ye-rin set the stage! I was just following her lead!”
I’m her boyfriend anyway, so what does it matter?
Can’t we just try out a concept like that?
“You bastard! Why are you so good at this?!”
“I-it’s because I’ve done stuff like this with Yun-ji before!”
Since I’d done so much roleplay, I was actually quite good at it.
“I know, right? Woo-jini is really good. I actually felt like a heroine being devoured and corrupted.”
Seo Ye-rin giggled.
Whatever the case, I ended up as a man who gained nothing and just had his adult videos deleted.

“Ho ho, it hasn’t been that long since the semester started, but quite a few students are already missing, aren’t they?”
Day 1 of the post-AV deletion era.
The next day, I was listening to a lecture with a dazed expression.
Since it was a class I took with Choi I-seo, I usually would have been stuck to her side.
However, the girls from her department had dragged her away, so I was alone today.
I was studying, but honestly, it was boring.
To begin with, the second semester had only just started.
I wasn’t ready to study yet.
‘Too many things happened so suddenly.’
The open chat room had started operating as soon as the semester began, so that couldn’t be helped, but still.
‘Sigh.’
Maybe that’s why I felt burnt out.
I let out a deep sigh, slumped in my seat.
If Choi I-seo were next to me, we could have hung out together.
Just as I was staring at her with that thought, Choi I-seo happened to glance back and catch my eye.
As soon as our eyes met, she quickly sent me a message on her phone.
Seriously, she always finds a way to lead me in the right direction.
Look at her sending a saluting squirrel emoticon. She’s so damn cute.
“Right, I should study.”
It’s not like I paid tuition just to come here and sleep. I should at least get my money’s worth.
I picked up my pen again and began to focus. Surprisingly, the content actually sank in once I put my mind to it.
It’s not like I’m actually stupid, after all.
A message from Seo Ye-rin came in to shake my resolve, but I brushed it off and focused on the lecture again.
I felt like I’d had a pretty productive day of learning, but then…
“Now then, for your first assignment, I’m going to give you a group project so you can get to know each other.”
The professor made a statement that seemed to completely disregard all my hard work up to that point.
‘A group project when the semester just started?’
That guy definitely needs to be fired. No matter how smart he is, he has no professional decency. Who does he think he’s teaching?
‘Wait, maybe this is actually a good thing?’
Even though Captain Ju wouldn’t be there to carry me like last time…
This time, we had our great Captain Choi, didn’t we?
Look at her sending a squirrel emoticon with its arms crossed, deep in thought.
She’s so cute I could die.
No, that’s not the point.
Phew.
Thank god.
Look at that smooth ride; I’m starting to feel at ease.
As long as I follow Captain Choi, the group project will be no problem.
“I’ve already randomly generated the groups, so look at the screen in front and find your group.”
Fuck!
I am definitely giving that guy the lowest possible score on the course evaluation!
No, does he even know who our Bamboo Forest Moderator No. 3 is?
Do I need to have a manager’s dinner or something?!
I desperately hoped to be in the same group as Choi I-seo, but naturally, we were separated.
I was assigned to Group F.
The fact that it was Group F already felt ominous. The letter itself felt like a bad omen.
There were six members in total, including myself.
“Then, I’ll let you out a bit early today so you can gather in your groups and discuss.”
The professor left.
Even amidst the chaos, the students began to gather quickly.
“Group C! Over here, please!”
“Is anyone from Group B here? I’m in Group B.”
“Group A, let’s just go to the school cafe. It’s a bit noisy in here.”
Even if it’s cruel, if it’s fate, you have to accept it—that’s college life.
Choi I-seo was already gathering the people for Group A and preparing to leave.
I quickly ran over to her and pouted.
“Are you going to abandon me?”
“What do you mean, abandon? The professor assigned the groups, so there’s nothing I can do.”
“Ugh, I was going to coast on Choi I-seo’s bus.”
“Sigh, I’ll help you if I have time, so go to your group members for now. Okay?”
“Okay. You won’t abandon me, right?”
“……Why are you being so cute today?”
Choi I-seo pinched my cheek and glanced around at her surroundings.
Then, she secretly kissed my cheek and gave me a soft smile.
“Let’s eat something delicious for lunch. Call me when your group meeting is over.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t be so mopey. You can just lead them well. You have that much ability.”
“I do?”
“I don’t find men without ability very attractive. But you’re very attractive.”
Is Choi I-seo in a good mood today?
She’s really boosting my ego.
But it feels good.
“Ahem, right. I just have to carry them.”
“Yeah, fighting!”
Choi I-seo gave me a thumbs-up and a cheer before leaving.
Right, let’s not just try to have a free ride.
I am Kim Woo-jin, the youngest son of Uju Group.
I’m the number one person my father wants as his successor, for crying out loud.
“Now then.”
I looked around to see where Group F had gathered.
Since it was still crowded with people, I raised my hand high and shouted.
“Where is Group F?”
Was it too loud for them to hear me?
“Group F? Where is Group F gathering?”
Only Group A had left, so why was no one answering?
I found the answer to that question ten minutes later.
“…….”
After every other group had either gathered or left.
In the empty lecture hall.
A message arrived from the teaching assistant.
It was today’s attendance sheet.
Aside from me, every single member of Group F hadn’t even shown up for class today.
“Are you fucking kidding me—?!”
